After a long day, visiting The Vegas Strip, The Valley of Fire and Hoover Dam we finally made it to the Grand Canyon's West Rim. Since there were not hotels around, we set up our tent next to a desolate gravel road. It always takes time to set up the tent and get all our camping gear out, but it's definitely worth it. :) The picture above you can see Jorge cooking some great food. He even cooked some lobster (talk about a gourmet chef).
It got a bit cold. Check out Fernando with his balaclava; it was so cold he wore it all night long (it was below freezing). The cold really got to Fernando (we need to get thicker sleeping bags), but the rest of us slept just fine. We kept telling Fernando he looked like "
El Subcomandante Marcos" the leader of the Zapatistas a rebel movement in Mexico. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcomandante_Marcos
This is what our campsite looked like in the morning. It was a sunny, fresh, crisp morning. I knew we were going to have a great day!
One thing that worried me about our camping site was that there were lots of thorns which could puncture one of our tires.
